The Fog Dodgers invite all residents and visitors of the Mendocino Coast to join us on our weekly group runs and walks. We have runners and walkers of all abilities (and even some bikers) and we have only one "rule" - we start at exactly 8:00 a.m. on Sundays. Exercise at your own pace (1/2 hour out, 1/2 hour back) and experience the fresh Mendocino coastal air.

Fog Dodgers provides a fun, safe way to explore some of our local trails and back roads and to meet new friends. You can find out where we're going to be by reading the bottom of last week's post, then clicking on the "Our Routes" tab above. We average 15-20 persons each Sunday and typically half will go to breakfast together afterwards at a nearby restaurant.

CASPAR LOGGING ROAD

We all had a nice walk at CASPAR LOGGING ROAD. It's  gentle climb up the road to warm up and then a slight descent coming back, so a good balance of effort. Hiking were Kim, Doug and Bowie, Eric, John, Sky, Shari, Toni, Joe, Nancy, Tom, Charlene, and Beth, and Bob.

Afterwards we dispersed for mostly separate breakfasts.

Here are John's photos for the week:

BIG RIVER

It's feeling like spring. Our hike at BIG RIVER yesterday drew a large group. Hiking were Eric, John, Sky, Diana, Jeff, Jean, Nancy, Tom, Toni, Joe, Charlene, Bob, Kim, Doug, Mark, Barbara, Beth, and Bob (18). There was a sense of the rain, which came that evening, but overall a nice relatively warm day with minimal wind, which can often be an issue at BIG RIVER.
